Fast sort coin counter

[stonewallrabbitry]

I found a Fast Sort FS-4DA counter/wrapper for sale locally for 25.00, has anyone ever used one for just pennies? I do not have to wrap my zincs but mostly wanted it to count coppers, could I put a tray under it so it counts but doesnt wrap? If I wrapped my coppers would my old wrappers from the bank to wrap the coppers if I open them carefully

I have one and it works fine. It has 4 tubes that each hold 50 pennies. You do not need to put wrappers in it. I just fill the tubes for counting and then dump them.

You can use your old wrappers, but you will not be able to have it auto wrap because the folded over ends will stop the pennies from entering the wrapper. Basically fill the tubes, and then manually refill the empty wrappers.

About a month ago, I tried to pimp mine. I thought that I could trick it into counting out lots of 50 pennies forever. However, the electronics in the machine are smarter than I am.

So are you saying it only counts out fifty and then stops?

There are 4 tubes for each coin. Once it coints enough to fill a roll, it stops, advances to the next tube and resumes again. Once all 4 tubes any one coin are full it stops until you empty them and slide the tray back in.
